In a RAP (Rape Aggression Prevention) course pre-course questionnaire, 67% of the women responded that they had survived a violent sexual assault.http://americanwarriorshow.libsyn.com/action-vs-intent-tips-and-tricks-and-qa-with-mike-seeklander
(They waste a lot of time talking about making coffee in this pod cast.) How do we get in front of this? Train your women folk. Color Code of mental awareness, Combat Mind Set, don't sit in your car in dark parking lots playing with your electronic devices, don't go to stupid places, don't do stupid things, don't hang out with stupid people,etc. Of course, there is a sampling bias. The women were in the class because they had been attacked. A woman who has never been attacked might not think she needs such a class and so doesn't attend in the first place. It's very difficult for people to see into the future to prepare. Because the person would have to think. And as Henry Ford said, "Thinking is the hardest thing a person can do, that's why so few people do it." So, your job is to help people think, so that they prepare by seeking training.

Front Sight Reality Checkhttp://www.ignatius-piazza-front-sight.com/2016/10/15/new-front-sight-reality-check-gun-training-video-33/#vid Brad Ackman is wrong about shooting the bad guy in the back. If the bad guy had dropped his weapon and surrendered (or ran away), there would have been no threat. But, that is not what happened. The bad guy kept his weapon and ran in a particular direction that incidentally exposed his back to the good guy. Retreat is a tactical maneuver. Retreat is not surrender. As long as the bad guy had his gun, he was a threat. Even if the bad guy had lost control of his gun, he would still be a threat by virtue of his body size and physique.

Suspect Disarms Officer, Shoots Bystanderhttps://activeselfprotection.com/suspect-disarms-officer-shoots-bystander/ "If you are open carrying as either a cop or an armed citizen without having extensive weapon retention training you are absolutely foolish." -- Greg Ellifritz [I train my students to always carry concealed to maintain the tactical element of surprise. Because carrying open will make you the primary target in any criminal scenario. You will be mistaken for a cop or a courier of high value items. -- Jon Low]

Check 360 Explainedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoViVv2kuFw This is significantly different from the Sul position (pistol held against your chest pointed down in front of you [The standard Sul position is a one handed grip. The retention Sul position is a two handed grip. (But, not a two handed firing grip.)] ) or the cheek index (pistol held against side of your head outside your field of vision pointed up [This is a two handed firing grip]). Dave Spaulding advocates a one handed grip in a close contact position with the pistol pointed down and far enough in front of you to avoid muzzling your legs.

There are several "Meltdown" videos on YouTube.com where they fire the gun full auto until it fails.This is one done with a Glock.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub4OswUhLwo An infrared video is inserted in the lower right corner. Recoil spring guide rod melts and is replaced with a steel guide rod. Trigger melts, preventing the action from resetting, thus stopping the experiment.
